Bijambare, Cave system in Ilijaš Municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bijambare is a cave complex in Ilijaš Municipality with four main chambers and corridors reaching heights of 30 meters and widths of 60 meters, extending over 400 meters in total. The system moves through multiple natural halls of varying sizes, creating a diverse underground landscape.
Archaeological excavations in the Upper Cave revealed Stone Age tools and weapons, now displayed at the National Museum in Sarajevo. These findings show that humans used the cave system during prehistoric times.
The protected landscape contains a medieval necropolis with Bosnian tombstones known as Mramorje, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Visitors can observe these historic grave markers set among the rock formations and understand how burials took place in this region.
The main cave is closed between December and April, so it is best visited during warmer months. Visitors should expect damp and slippery conditions inside and wear appropriate footwear.
The fourth chamber functions as a natural concert venue due to its extraordinary acoustic properties and impressive dimensions. The space amplifies sound in a way that makes it particularly suited for musical performances and events.
